All throughout Isaiah 40, the prophet captures this idea. When we think of God in this way, only one word comes to mind-awe. God’s transcendence is something our minds can’t get a grasp on. He is completely incomprehensible in His glory and beauty and power and goodness. That’s a big word that simply means that God is completely outside of and beyond the world as we know it. Since we’re talking about a blurry revelation of God, it only makes sense that I use a really blurry word to describe it. As we move through this historical flow with John we see in the first 5 verses that God reveals Himself transcendently. It shows the historical flow of how God has chosen to reveal Himself. That is the same flow that we see in this passage. Each detail of each letter is crystal clear. You can read every letter perfectly and clearly. Finally comes the wonderful time when he gets the lenses exactly right. If it was a sentence given for instruction, you wouldn’t be able to read it enough to follow it. But for the most part, you still can’t read them. You might be able to get a few of them right. You still can’t exactly read the letters, but you can tell that they are letters. You can tell there is something out there, but you have no idea what it is. The doctor sticks it up there and tells you to let him know when the letters become more clear. I think the best part of getting an eye exam is when they put the big lens machine in front of your face. When I went to replace them, my prescription had expired so I had to get a new eye exam. You know that a few weeks ago, I broke my old glasses. Seeing the One Ezekiel saw the appearance of the likeness of the glory of, and fell on his face. Seeing the One Isaiah saw high and lifted up. Seeing the One Moses was only allowed to see the backside of His glory. So, do you know what the major theme of the Gospel of John is? Seeing God. It lays out the major theme that the whole book is going to expand on. A prologue is a complete overview of the theme of the book. These 18 verses serve as the prologue to John’s Gospel. In 18 short verses, this passage provides an overview of God’s self-revelation. That’s what our passage is about this morning. He desired to be seen and magnified and glorified and praised for who He is. Somewhere in His eternal councils, God desired to reveal Himself. And His desire for His glory is so vast, that He wasn’t satisfied. The eternal relationship between the Father, the Son and the Spirit gives God everything He ever needs.

In His eternal three-in-one existence, He is completely self-sufficient. In and of Himself, God is completely incomprehensible to man. Do you ever wonder what it must be like to see God? I’ve heard it said that for us to try to see God in His fullness and completely describe Him would be like a germ trying to describe the universe.
